🌳 Saint of the Day: Saint Boniface 🌳

Missionary, martyr, and a bold witness to Christ, Saint Boniface is remembered for felling a sacred oak in Germany—not to destroy, but to proclaim the one true God behind all creation.

Integral ecology calls us to honor creation—not as a god, but as a sacred trust.

“Creation is not a property, which we can rule over at will; or, even less, is the property of only a few: Creation is a gift, it is a wonderful gift that God has given us, so that we care for it and we use it for the benefit of all, always with great respect and gratitude” (Pope Francis, General Audience, March 21, 2014).
